Great video and loadout!! You are absolutely correct in that your kit should reflect not only your area, but your skillset as well. Everyone should study their area and design their kit appropriately.
Great kit Justin, well thought out. From the more level headed among us, this is def. a 3 season kit for what Dave Canterbury calls “inconvenient” camping, or an emergency situation. All your kits are well thought out FOR YOUR AREA AND SITUATION. This is what a lot of people don’t get. You always have trees in the woods (apparently not as obvious to some). You’re not in the desert or the Boreal forest up north. Hopefully folks understand your explanation at the end of the video. Look forward to the next video!
@@woodswalker64 Thank you! It really doesn't take much in my area and I always try to plan out any hike to completely avoid a bad situation. Some people definitely just want to try and be argumentative. I hope people understand what I'm saying as well. Thanks for the encouragement! 👍
I really like the way you have put together this kit,very practical. My haversack kit is similar to yours, my canteen/water bottle I usually carry on my belt.
@@alanrice39 Thank you! Thanks a lot for watching! I've thought about getting a belt rig for a smaller canteen. I have a small canteen that would work well for that. 👍
@@awayinthewilderness4319 they troll me also, I just block their comments immediately without even giving them a answer, just like I do negative energy people in real life.
Love it, super solid and simple and ya got all the bases covered!!! Wish we got a weight without water kinda strange I know but most folks go dry weight thanks anywho why not go onewind poncho as a shelter like the T6 but also have the wearable aspect as well ✊️🔥✌️💚
@@Canadian_Craftsman I actually might try that out. I have that Onewind Ultralight Cape Shelter and a Helikon poncho. Definitely a little more versatile. I think both are a little heavier is the only downside.
Aho brother. Your kit is very similar to what I've been carrying for years in the Kansas City area. One thing I did not see was a multi-tool. I carry a mini multi-tool from Cabelas and use it a lot. Just a suggestion. Take care and be safe.
@@Robert-b5t Definitely a good choice to add to a lightweight kit. In general I carry an SAK in my pocket, along with a lighter. Thanks a lot for watching!
Great haversack kit! Don’t know how many haversack gear videos I’ve watched where it seems they’re just transferring everything from their daypack to their haversack and in turn overloading it. Your kit is well thought out and practical. I was hooked and subbed to your channel, in addition to the content, by your closing remarks. It’s sad that creators have to defend the choices they make on their own channel to those only looking to “stir the pot”. Your response to the “trolls” was spot on! And the, “probably just your time to meet your maker.”, was the icing on the cake.
@@SOS_ADVENTURES You definitely get a lot of people that seem to just want to be contentious or tear you down. Thanks for the positive feedback. I'm definitely not a guy that can't take constructive criticism, and I understand that people do have differing opinions. I respect all that, but a lot of people are just trying to be jerks. Thanks a lot for the sub! 👍✌️
Have you tried to use that magnifier to make a fire. Its not as easy as it looks, specially with a low powered magnifier. If you are in an area where the tree's are few and far between. Trekking poles will work nicely. Or even a old school hiking staff. Use your brains people. Good video by the way. You do use your brains :)
@@longrider42 I have started fires with them on a few occasions. I've found that the key is very dry and fine tinder. Absolutely! Trekking pole or staff. I wanted to address that and hope I didn't sound like too much of a jerk, but sometimes people will drive you crazy with the lack of brain use 😄. And I hope I made sense about making a suitable kit for your specific area and skill level. I guess I assumed that went without saying before this video. Thanks for watching! 👍✌️
@@awayinthewilderness4319 Where I live, it is dry, high desert to be exact. So Water is the most important thing. Whether I am going for a long bike ride, or a long hike. I always take more then I think I will need. When I used to do long group rides, I was known as the Camel, because of all the extra water I would haul around. Oh, and I have that same Haversack. Did you notice the pocket under the flap? Well if you sew in some Velcro, or use some snaps to close that pocket at the top, when it is over the haversack, you have a great pocket for flat items. Oh, and one thing you should add. A pad of the Write in the rain notebook and pen. Other then that, for where you live, looks great.
That is a great load out.
Great kit!
Thanks ❤
Nice kit…Have fun stay safe.
@@kennethwilson8633 Thank you! You as well!
smart kit. great intel. HT🤙
@@hangtough503 👍✌️
Looking forward to what you have to teach us after the Pathfinder School!
I'm really looking forward to the training and bringing more knowledge to the channel. Thanks for watching, bro! ✌️

Change is good!
For sure! Lightweight is the best way in my opinion. 👍
Great hike! I love how things aren't roaming around in the bag. The ditty bag is an excellent addition. 👌
❤️❤️❤️😘
Nicely done. Mines at 13. I'd like to shave 3 to 5 off it.
@@MichiganSilverBack Definitely nice to hike and barely even notice it! Thanks for watching!

“It’s probably your time to go meet your maker!” I know you didn’t mean this to be funny, but I laughed a tear out my eye.😂😂😂
I laughed, too! 😂
@@corleyoutdoors2887 😄 Some of the situations people bring up really makes me feel that way.

@@awayinthewilderness4319 Oh, you mean the “what if” ninjas? What if…? I’m sure you’ve heard it all! 😂😂 Thanks for the video!
Excellent video and kit load out! Well done sir! Looking forward to future videos! Thank you!

Rock solid kit loadout. No junk, just useful items that you can use well if your skill set is up to par. Thanks!
Nice & well thought out kit. Greetings from Norway

Nice kit! Kit looks like my bag inside!
Nice video. And I appreciate the explanation at the end.
@@RockyRandall Thanks, Pastor! I get tons of comments about that stuff. Just wanted to put it out there. Thanks for watching!
Here from the recommendation of the Outlaw Camper
@@mrmbr Thanks for watching!
Where did you get those small zip lock green things? That would be perfect for my extra headlamp battery!!
@@oldsoldier181 are you talking about the small black ziplock bags?
@@oldsoldier181 if so they were from Amazon. I looked at a bunch of stores, but could only find them on Amazon.
@@awayinthewilderness4319 Yes. Sorry, they looked green to me lol
@@awayinthewilderness4319 thank you!!!
Nice!
The lighter it gets on backpack, the heavier it gets on bank balance.
@@beergrill4607 That is definitely true in general. Thanks for watching!
